Platform Changes

  • Support for Microsoft Windows/Visual Studio 2022 (V17.8 and above with toolset 143) and .Net 8 starts with this release.

  • Minimum required version for .Net Framework is now 4.8. Note that .Net Framework support is only available on the Visual Studio 2019 (toolset 142) platform. Consider migrating your application to .Net Core 2.0.

  • Support for all Microsoft Windows 10 editions is scheduled to end in October 2025 in coordination with Microsoft’s scheduled end of life policy.

  • Support for OpenGL on MacOS and iOS platforms is deprecated and will no longer be supported starting with HPS 2026.1.0. Partners will have to migrate to Metal in order to maintain support for Apple devices in the future.

Functional changes

  • The number of update statistics that can be displayed by SetResourceMonitor() has been increased to 80.

  • Only visible markers will be selected by visual selection. Previously, all markers in a group were selected regardless of their individual visibility.

  • Transformable PMI text is more reliably detected and included in PDF export preview.

  • FitWorld() was made more thread-safe to avoid clashes with other concurrent operations.

  • Text is no longer clipped when using transparent backgrounds.

  • Model is now selectable after playing an animation.

  • The TableToPDF module is now dropped. Please contact our Support Team (https://partner.support.techsoft3d.com/servicedesk/customer/portals) if you have questions regarding this capability.
